US residents are angry today at receiving US$25 (€18) parking tickets for parking their vehicles in their own driveways.
Mayor Carty Finkbeiner said he stood by the tickets handed out last week by the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbour in Toledo, Ohio.
He said the tickets were issued under a city law against parking on unpaved surfaces, including gravel driveways.
During a news conference, Finkbeiner ignored a reporter’s question of whether the crackdown and fines were related to the city’s budget crisis.
The three-term mayor faces a recall vote in November. Critics have claimed he has wasted city money.
One city councillor, D. Michael Collins, called the ticketing “Mickey Mouse nonsense” and said he would try to have them cancelled.
